Professional Water Damage Service for MacBook Pro 14" (A3401)

Estimated repair time: 3–10 business days, depending on the severity of the damage and the availability of internal components such as the keyboard, trackpad, battery, and logic board parts.

Liquids like plain water, coffee, soda, juice, or sweet beverages behave differently inside the MacBook. Especially sugary or sticky liquids can trap moisture under IC chips and connectors, causing accelerated corrosion and long-term board damage if not properly cleaned and dried.

  • Professional removal of liquid, residue, and early-stage corrosion
  • Ultrasonic logic board cleaning when needed
  • Diagnosis of power, image, charging, and keyboard/trackpad circuits
  • Replacement of damaged components if required

Important Warnings After Water Damage

Time is critical after a spill. Corrosion spreads quickly, and “toxic” chemical reactions on the logic board can escalate the damage if the device is left sitting with moisture inside.
  • Do NOT plug in the charger. Can cause instant short circuits.
  • Do NOT attempt to turn it on repeatedly. Worsens electrical damage.
  • Do NOT place it in rice. Cannot clean corrosion or sugary residue.
  • Do NOT apply heat with a dryer. Can warp the board and seals.
  • Bring it in as quickly as possible. Early cleaning increases success rate.

  • Random shutdowns or boot looping
  • Keyboard keys not working or repeating
  • Trackpad not clicking or acting erratically
